general, it is usually preferred to simply split the difference between the values of the lowest point
(point L) and the midpoint (point 3), as well as the highest point (point H) and the midpoint. For
example, if the lowest and highest points are set to 100%, and the midpoint is set to 70%, points 2
and 4 should be set to 85%.
Pilots interested in the most aggressive performance for added cyclic and collective pitch response
may prefer to increase the value of the midpoint (as well as the values for points 2 and 4 as
necessary). Please see the manual for the DX6i for more information on throttle curve settings
and adjustments.
Throttle Hold
The Spektrum DX6i transmitter also features a Throttle Hold (TH HOLD) switch. This switch allows the
pilot to toggle between the Throttle Hold Off (0) and Throttle Hold On (1).
When the Throttle Hold switch is toggled toward the rear of the transmitter (position 0), Throttle Hold
will be Off. When Throttle Hold is off, the transmitter will be in the Normal or Stunt ight mode
(depending on the position in which the F MODE switch is set).
When the Throttle Hold switch is toggled toward the front of the transmitter (position 1), Throttle Hold
will be On (activated). When Throttle Hold is on, the helicopter will be in the Throttle Hold (HOLD)
ight mode. In this ight mode, the throttle curve is linear from 0% to 0%. In the case of an electric-
powered model like the Blade 400, this will power down the ESC/motor completely. And, because
the pitch range in this ight mode is approximately -3 degrees (35%) to +10 degrees (100%), it also
allows you to perform auto-rotations during ight if you choose.
Toggling the Throttle Hold switch to the on position also allows you to safely power down the ESC/
motor any time the helicopter is not ying. This is particularly helpful as it allows you to safely handle
the helicopter, while the ESC is still armed, regardless of the throttle/collective stick and Flight Mode
switch positions.
Note: If the Throttle Hold switch is in the on position, and the throttle/collective stick set to anything
above the lowest possible position with the Flight Mode switch set to the Normal position, the ESC/
motor will power up as soon as the Throttle Hold switch is set to the off position. This is also the
case regardless of the throttle/collective stick position when the Flight Mode switch is set to the Stunt
position. You must exercise extreme care and caution when switching the Throttle Hold switch to the
off position. You should always be in the Normal fight mode and have the throttle/collective stick
set to the lowest possible position BEFORE switching Throttle Hold off.

Before the First Flight
Although each Blade 400 3D model is factory assembled and tested, you should check the following
before making your rst ight:
q Check the security of all screws and control/linkage balls on your model. Tighten any screws and
control/linkage balls that may be loose and replace any screws, control/linkage balls or other
parts that may be stripped.
q Check to be sure that the screws securing the main and tail rotor blades in the blade grips are
tightened so that the blades can pivot in the grips when moderate pressure is applied.
q Check the security of all the plastic ball link ends on your model. The links should stay attached
to the control/linkage balls even when moderate force is applied. Any link that does not stay
attached to the control/linkage ball should be replaced before ight.
q Check to be sure that all electronic equipment and wire leads are secure and will not come into
contact with any moving parts.
q Check for proper tail rotor drive belt tension. Proper belt tension plays a critical role in achieving
maximum performance and reliability of your model.
If the belt tension is set too tight, it can result in a loss of power while also causing the belt and/
or pulleys to wear more quickly.
If the belt tension is set too loose, the belt can skip and strip teeth from the belt and/or pulleys. It
can also result in a loss of tail rotor performance and control in ight.
You can check the tension of the tail rotor drive belt by using an Allen/hex wrench (or any other
suitable tool/device) to compress the belt through the opening in the main frame and tail boom located
on the right side of the model. Apply light pressure to the exposed side of the belt, compressing it
toward the other side of the belt. The belt tension is set properly if the compressed side of the belt
reaches approximately of the way to the other side of the belt.
If the compressed side of the belt reaches more than of the way to the other side of the belt, the
tension is set too loose. If it is difcult to compress the exposed side of the belt, or if it does not reach
approximately of the way to the other side of the belt, the tension is set too tight.
You can adjust the belt tension by loosening the two screws that mount the horizontal stabilizer and the
four screws that hold the rear section of the main frame together around the tail boom. After loosening
these six screws, slide the boom further into the frame (to loosen belt tension) or farther out of the
frame (to tighten belt tension). After properly adjusting the tail drive belt tension, be sure to retighten
all six screws while also conrming proper alignment of the horizontal stabilizer and tail rotor shaft
(both should be level/horizontal and perpendicular to the main shaft when viewed from behind the
model).
q If this is the rst test ight, or a test ight following repairs, you will also want to center the rudder,
aileron and elevator trims.
Your Blade 400 3D is now ready for ight.
Choosing a Flying Area
When you are ready for your rst ight, you will want to select a large, open area that is free of
people and obstructions. Until you have properly trimmed, adjusted and become familiar with the
handling of the Blade 400 3D, we suggest that your rst and subsequent test ights be made outdoors
in low-wind conditions only.
While it is possible for the Blade 400 3D to be own indoors, we suggest that it only be in a very large
indoor facility such as a gym (with proper approval) that is also free of people and obstructions. The
Blade 400 3D is not intended to be own in small indoor areas or facilities where it may be possible to
y a micro coaxial helicopter like the Blade CX or Blade CX2, or a micro collective pitch helicopter like
the Blade CP+ or Blade CP Pro.
Flying the Blade 400 3D
Having followed the proper ESC and gyro arming and initialization procedures, conrmed proper
control of the servos and motor, and found a suitable ying area, your Blade 400 3D is ready for
ight.
Slowly raise the throttle/collective pitch (left-hand) stick, increasing the speed of the main rotor
blades until the model begins to lift off. Do not raise the throttle stick too quickly as the model could
climb too fast causing you to lose control or make contact with objects above.
Lift the model off the ground just a few inches and concentrate on balancing the throttle stick position
so that the model holds a steady hover altitude. In some cases it may be best to make a few short
hops to an altitude of just a few inches until you become familiar with the control inputs and trim
settings required to maintain a steady hover and altitude.
36 37
As you will fnd, the Blade 400 3D requires minor throttle/collective pitch adjustments to maintain its
altitude in hover. Remember to keep these adjustments as minimal as possible as large adjustments
could result in a loss of control and/or a possible crash.
While attempting to establish a low-level hover, you can also check to see if any trim adjustments
are required to help keep the Blade 400 3D from constantly drifting in various directions. If you nd
the helicopter constantly drifts without any directional control input, it will be best to land the model
before making any adjustments to the trim levers. Additional details regarding the location and
function of the trim levers can be found in the Understanding the Primary Flight Controls section of
this manual.
If the nose of the helicopter is drifting to the left or right, you will need to adjust the rudder trim.
If the helicopter is drifting forward or backward, you will need to adjust the elevator trim.
If the helicopter is drifting to the left or right, you will need to adjust the aileron trim.
Continue to make trim adjustments until the helicopter can hover at a low altitude with very little
drifting and directional control input.
Once you have the Blade 400 3D properly trimmed and maintaining a stable low-level hover,
practice using the rudder, elevator and aileron controls to get a feel for how the helicopter responds
to control inputs. Remember to keep the control inputs as minimal as possible to prevent over-
controlling the helicopter, especially when in hover.
After becoming comfortable with hovering the Blade 400 3D at low-levels of altitude just a few
inches off the ground, you can transition to hovering and ying the helicopter at higher altitudes of
approximately three to four feet. At these higher altitudes you will be able to get a feel for the ight
characteristics of the Blade 400 3D when it is ying out of ground effect.
If at any time during fight you feel like the helicopter is drifting out of control, it is best to return all
controls to neutral and to lower the throttle stick completely or activate Throttle Hold. This will help
reduce the amount of damage that may be caused in the event of a crash.
In the unfortunate event of a crash or rotor blade strIke, no
matter how mInor or major, you must lower the throttle (left-
hand) stIck to the lowest possIble posItIon (when In the normal
flIght mode only) as quIckly as possIble to prevent damage to
the esc. you can also actIvate throttle hold In any flIght mode,
regardless of throttle stIck posItIon.
Failure to lower the throttle stick to the lowest possible position (in the Normal Flight mode only) or to
activate Throttle Hold (in any ight mode) in the event of a crash could result in damage to the ESC.
While the ESC is readily capable of handling all in-ight power loads, and even brief momentary
bursts beyond these typical loads, it can be damaged if an excessive amount of current is pulled
through it for an extended period of time. This period of time may vary depending on conditions, so it
is best to keep any momentary overloads as short as possible in order to prevent damage to the ESC.
Note: Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
It is extremely important when hovering and fying the Blade 400 3D to be aware of the power level
of the Li-Po battery pack. If at any time the helicopter begins to require more throttle than typical to
maintain hover or ight or has lost signicant power, you must land the helicopter IMMEDIATELY to
prevent a sudden loss in power that could result in a crash.
Main Rotor Blade Tracking Adjustment
Caution: Be sure to maintain a safe distance from the helicopter (1015 feet) when tracking the
main rotor blades.
Blade tracking is a critical element to the fight performance of just about any helicopter, including
the Blade 400 3D. Main rotor blades that are out of track may cause vibration, instability, and loss
of power due to increased drag. Although the main rotor blades of each Blade 400 3D model are
tracked at the factory, minor adjustments to blade tracking may be required after blade changes,
linkage adjustments or repairs.
To check main rotor blade tracking and make any required adjustments, please note the following tips:
Before proceeding with the test fight of a new model, or any model to which changes or repairs
have been made, be certain that the main rotor blades have been properly installed and secured.
The main rotor blade mounting bolts should be tightened so the blades can pivot in the blade grip
when moderate pressure is applied. Never allow the main rotor blades to swing freely in their grips.
After powering the model on and allowing the ESC and gyro to properly arm and initialize, bring
the main rotor blades of your Blade 400 3D up to speed. You can check the blade tracking either on
the ground or in the air at approximately eye level. It might be a good idea to have an assistant on
hand to help sight the blades. Again, be certain to maintain a safe distance of 1015 feet from the
helicopter when checking the tracking of the main rotor blades.
Once the main rotor blades have been brought up to speed, note which blade is running low and
which blade is running high (by the colored tracking tape).
Blades Out of
Track Adjustment
Necessary
38 39
After confrming which blade is running low and which blade is running high, power down the
helicopter in order to make any necessary adjustments to the linkages. You can increase the pitch of
the low blade by shortening the mixing arm to inner swashplate linkage. This is accomplished by
turning one of the Ball Link ends in by one-half to one full turn at a time. Or, you can decrease the
pitch of the high blade by lengthening the same linkage.
Note: The blade you choose to raise or lower when making tracking adjustments will depend on
the pitch of each blade. Because both rotor blades should be as close to 0 degrees as possible
when Throttle Hold is activated (DO NOT attempt to check for 0 pitch in the Normal or Stunt/Idle
Up ight modes) and the throttle/collective stick is in the middle position, you can easily identify
which rotor blade to adjust. If one blade is lower than 0 degrees, raise it to match the other
blade. If one blade is higher than 0 degrees, lower it to match the other blade.
Typically, not much adjustment should be necessary to properly track the main rotor blades. If
signifcant adjustments are required, be sure to double-check the length of both mixing arm to inner
swashplate linkages (they should be close to the same length). You should also check the blades for
any warps or twists. In most cases, you should be able to get both blades tracking perfectly in the
same plane. However, due to slight variations in the ball links and threaded linkage rods/pushrods
it may not always be possible to achieve absolutely perfect blade tracking. Dont worry, as the
helicopter should still perform well as long as the blade tracking is adjusted as closely as possible.
Flybar Paddle Tracking Adjustment
While main rotor blade tracking is a critical element of ight performance, proper ybar paddle
tracking and positioning is also important in maintaining proper control response and vibration-free
operation.
To check fybar paddle tracking, positioning and to make any necessary adjustments, please note the
following tips:
Confrm that both fybar paddles are equally spaced from the ends of the fybar paddle control
frame arms. If they are not equally spaced, adjust the position of the fybar by loosening the two
setscrews located in each paddle control frame arm, then sliding the ybar from side to side until
they are.
Confrm that both fybar paddle control frame arms and rods are parallel to one another. It may be
necessary to loosen the four screws that hold the paddle control frame assembly together in order to
adjust the position of each part.
Be certain that both fybar paddles are parallel to the fybar paddle control frame arms. If they are
not, loosen the setscrews in the ybar paddle mounts/adapters and twist the paddles until they are
properly aligned and parallel with the paddle control frame arms.
I f you have made certain that both fybar paddles are parallel to the paddle control frame arms, they
should now be parallel to one another. If they are not, take your time making adjustments in order
to ensure that both ybar paddles are positioned parallel to one another and the paddle control
frame arms.
Once you have properly positioned and aligned the fybar paddle control frame parts and the fybar
paddles following the tips above, be certain that all screws and setscrews are rmly secured.

Head Dampening Shims and Tuning Cyclic Response
The rotor head (main rotor blade) dampening of your Blade 400 3D model can be adjusted in order to
tune the cyclic response and stability of your model. In general, stiffer dampening will result in quicker
cyclic response with a slight reduction in stability (when compared to softer/less-stiff dampening). The
dampening of your Blade 400 3D model has been set to provide a good balance of cyclic response
and stability right out of the box, and we suggest that you make your rst ights with this amount of
dampening before making any changes.
If, after the rst few ights, you would prefer to have even quicker and more aggressive cyclic
response, you can stiffen the rotor head dampening by adding shims (in addition to the shims that
were factory-installed) between the O-Ring (025) and Step Washer (020) on each side of the Head
Block/Rotor Housing (see the Exploded View Parts Listing and Exploded View Drawing pages for
reference). Head Dampening Shims are available separately in packs of eight (EFLH1144), however,
you should add only one shim per side at a time before making each subsequent test ight, until you
nd the dampening at which you prefer the cyclic response (and stability) most.
Note: You must always install an equal number of shims on each side of the Head Block/Rotor
Housing.
Note: If you install too many shims, and the dampening becomes too stiff, the helicopter can
wobble and shake in ight. Take care when making test ights after adding shims to prevent
crashing the model as a result of a wobble or shake. Typically, we nd that adding an additional
12 shims per side with the stock power system works well for more aggressive pilots and 3D
ying. Adding too many additional shims per side can cause the model to wobble and shake.
Again, exercise extreme care when test ying the model after adding any number of shims.
Other options for tuning the cyclic response of your model include adjusting the aileron and elevator
Swashplate Mixing (SWASH MIX), Dual Rate (D/R) and Exponential (EXPO) values in the transmitter
(please see the manual for the DX6i for more information), as well as the installation of different length
ybars and different weight ybar paddles (please see your favorite retailer or visit our web site for
more information).
Recommended Maintenance
Routine maintenance is necessary to keep your Blade 400 3D in optimal and safe ying condition.
Some of the most important things to check routinely include:
Ball Links
Before each ying session, check to see that the plastic ball link ends are secure, but not tight
(binding), on the linkage/control balls. The plastic ball links can wear over time, and if they become
too loose on the control balls, they can separate from the ball in ight and cause a crash. Be sure to
replace any worn ball links before they fail.
Also, any ball links that are tight (binding) on the linkage/control balls can be loosened by carefully
squeezing the sides of the link with a pair of pliers. However, exercise extreme care when sizing
the ball links as it is possible to loosen them too much for safe use.
Bearings
The one-way bearing in the main drive gear should be cleaned using isopropyl alcohol or electric
motor spray, then lubed with lightweight oil, approximately every 80 to 100 ights. All other
bearings typically exhibit very long life and normally only need to be replaced if they ever become
notchy (sticky in places when turning) or draggy.
Oiling
Its important to apply a small amount of lightweight oil (like TRI4026) to any areas where a bushing
may ride on a shaft, especially after replacing any of the parts with new ones after a crash. Some
areas to oil include where the washout base bushing and swashplate control ball ride on the main
shaft, and where the tail rotor control pitch slider bushing rides on the tail rotor shaft.
O-Ring Head Dampeners
The O-ring dampeners in the head block will periodically wear and lose their elasticity. Worn
O-rings can cause main rotor blade tracking problems as well as stability and control response
issues. If you begin having trouble with the blades going in and out of track during ight, or if the
helicopter feels loose and mushy during ight, it is likely time to replace the O-ring dampeners.
The O-ring dampeners can wear out in approximately 30 to 60 ights depending on how the model
is own.
Also, when replacing the O-ring dampeners, its important to lubricate them with grease or
petroleum jelly to prevent friction.
Tail Rotor Drive Belt
Its typical for the tail drive belt to stretch slightly over the rst few ights. When new, frequently
check and adjust the belt tension as required. After approximately 20 to 40 fights, the belt elasticity
will stabilize, requiring little to no additional tension adjustment.
2007 offcial ama national model aircraft safety code
GENERAL
1) I will not y my model aircraft in sanctioned events, air shows or model ying demonstrations until it has been proven to be airworthy by
having been previously, successfully ight tested.
2) I will not y my model higher than approximately 400 feet within 3 miles of an airport without notifying the airport operator. I will give
right-of-way and avoid ying in the proximity of full-scale aircraft. Where necessary, an observer shall be utilized to supervise ying to
avoid having models y in the proximity of full-scale aircraft.
3) Where established, I will abide by the safety rules for the ying site I use, and I will not willfully or deliberately y my models in a careless,
reckless and/or dangerous manner.
4) The maximum takeoff weight of a model is 55 pounds, except models own under Experimental Aircraft rules.
5) I will not y my model unless it is identied with my name and address or AMA number on or in the model. (This does not apply to models
while being own indoors.)
6) I will not operate models with metal-bladed propellers or with gaseous boosts, in which gases other than air enter their internal combustion
engine(s); nor will I operate models with extremely hazardous fuels such as those containing tetranitromethane or hydrazine.
RADIO CONTROL
1) I will have completed a successful radio equipment ground range check before the rst ight of a new or repaired model.
2) I will not y my model aircraft in the presence of spectators until I become a qualied ier, unless assisted by an experienced helper.
3) At all ying sites a straight or curved line(s) must be established in front of which all ying takes place with the other side for spectators.
Only personnel involved with ying the aircraft are allowed at or in front of the ight line. Intentional ying behind the ight line is
prohibited.
4) I will operate my model using only radio control frequencies currently allowed by the Federal Communications Commission. (Only
properly licensed Amateurs are authorized to operate equipment on Amateur Band frequencies.)
5) Flying sites separated by three miles or more are considered safe from site-to site interference, even when both sites use the same
frequencies. Any circumstances under three miles separation require a frequency management arrangement, which may be either an
allocation of specic frequencies for each site or testing to determine that freedom from interference exists. Allocation plans or interference
test reports shall be signed by the parties involved and provided to AMA Headquarters. Documents of agreement and reports may exist
between (1) two or more AMA Chartered Clubs, (2) AMA clubs and individual AMA members not associated with AMA Clubs, or (3) two
or more individual AMA members.
6) For Combat, distance between combat engagement line and spectator line will be 500 feet per cubic inch of engine displacement.
(Example: .40 engine = 200 feet.); electric motors will be based on equivalent combustion engine size. Additional safety requirements will
be per the RC Combat section of the current Competition Regulations.
7) At air shows or model ying demonstrations, a single straight line must be established, one side of which is for ying, with the other side
for spectators.
8) With the exception of events own under AMA Competition rules, after launch, except for pilots or helpers being used, no powered model
may be own closer than 25 feet to any person.
9) Under no circumstances may a pilot or other person touch a powered model in ight.
